If you aren’t riding your bike, please consider taking it home this week and bringing it back spring break when the weather is a bit more conducive to bike riding. If that is not a possibility, then please remove it from the outdoor bike racks and keep it in your dorm room or apartment so it isn’t a temptation to thieves.
Thank you!

The Office for Spiritual Life has become aware of a need in the Newberg School District with regard to the upcoming holiday break. Forty-eight percent of students in the Newberg School District participate in the free lunch program, and 168 of the students experience homelessness.
Over the winter break, these children and families will have difficulty getting the meals that they need. The spiritual life office is collecting monetary donations and gift cards to local grocery stores and restaurants to aid our neighbors during the Christmas holiday.
